How does energy transport from the core to the surface of the sun by radiation and convection?

Energy generated in the Sun's core through nuclear fusion travels outward through two main processes: radiation and convection. In the radiative zone, energy is transferred by photons, which are absorbed and re-emitted by particles, taking thousands of years to reach the outer layers. Once it reaches the convective zone, energy is transported more rapidly through convection currents, where hot plasma rises to the surface, cools, and then sinks back down, creating a continuous cycle. This combination of radiation and convection efficiently transports energy from the core to the Sun's surface.
